Instructions:

Prepare Ingredients: Start by sautéing the onions, chilies, and garlic in a splash of olive oil over medium heat until the onions turn soft and translucent. Set this aromatic mixture aside to cool.

-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare the baking dish.

Assemble the Dish: Generously butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish to prevent sticking. Pour the mixed ingredients into the prepared dish, spreading them evenly for consistent cooking.

Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil or a lid to seal in the flavors. Place it in the preheated oven and let it bake for 30 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld together deliciously.

Uncover and Bake: After 30 minutes, remove the cover to reveal the bubbling goodness within. Continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the top to develop a golden crust.

Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, take the dish out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, scoop out generous portions onto serving plates and garnish with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Serve hot and savor every mouthful of this delectable Spanish rice creation!
